The book covers current sniper fundamentals, range and wind calculations from basic to advanced levels, environmental factors, and high angle shooting techniques. Irving addresses disproven theories in the field while exploring transonic ballistics issues, hit probability calculations, and precision shooting tactics for both urban and mountainous terrain.
